Section three.
Speaker 1 (2)
John Brown, a school student, is entering a competition for young electronic engineers.
Speaker 1 (3)
He is talking to his teacher, Mary Collins.
Speaker 1 (4)
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 30.
Speaker 1 (5)
Now listen and answer questions 21 to 30.
Speaker 2 (6)
Good morning, missus Collins.
Speaker 2 (7)
I just wondered if you could help me with this entry form for the young electronic engineer competition.
Speaker 3 (8)
Hello, John.
Speaker 3 (9)
Oh, you've made the jigsaw for blind children with the bleeper?
Speaker 2 (10)
When they put a piece incorrectly.
Speaker 2 (11)
That's right.
Speaker 3 (13)
Let's have a look at the form.
Speaker 2 (16)
I've never filled in one of these before.
Speaker 3 (18)
Well, let's just do it in pencil first.
Speaker 3 (19)
So name of designers.
Speaker 2 (20)
Well, Anne helped me with some of the electronics work.
Speaker 3 (21)
Then you must put her name in as well.
Speaker 2 (25)
It's a, n n, e, and her surname is spelled r e a.
Speaker 2 (26)
Good start.
Speaker 3 (29)
And age is easy.
Speaker 3 (30)
You're both 16.
Speaker 3 (31)
What have you called the design?
Speaker 3 (32)
Keep it short.
Speaker 2 (33)
What about jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped?
Speaker 3 (35)
Just say blind puzzle.
Speaker 3 (36)
That'll do.
Speaker 3 (38)
Right now, size of equipment?
Speaker 2 (39)
I've got it noted down here.
Speaker 2 (41)
Length sorry.
Speaker 2 (42)
Width is 20 centimeters.
Speaker 2 (44)
Length is 50 centimeters, and then the depth is well, it's very little.
Speaker 3 (45)
What would you say?
Speaker 3 (46)
I think you can be approximate.
Speaker 2 (47)
I'd say 2.5 centimeters.
Speaker 3 (48)
And the electricity supply?
Speaker 3 (49)
Is it mains operated?
Speaker 2 (52)
It's actually battery.
Speaker 2 (58)
It's the next bit that I'm really not sure what to put.
Speaker 3 (59)
Well, special features means what is really new about this, you know, suitable for the group you made it for.
Speaker 2 (60)
Well, it's safe for children.
Speaker 3 (61)
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (62)
Put that in.
Speaker 2 (64)
And, of course, we think it's educational.
Speaker 3 (66)
There you are.
Speaker 3 (67)
You've done it.
Speaker 3 (68)
Anything else?
Speaker 2 (69)
Well, I think the price is good.
Speaker 3 (70)
That's probably the most important factor.
Speaker 2 (72)
Cheap price.
Speaker 3 (73)
Which brings us on to the next bit.
Speaker 3 (74)
What's the cost?
Speaker 2 (75)
Well, the pieces we made out of old wood, they cost, oh, $5.
Speaker 3 (76)
And the electrics?
Speaker 2 (77)
They were more expensive, say, dollars 50.
Speaker 2 (79)
Now what do they mean by other comments?
Speaker 3 (80)
It's just a chance for you to say anything about the equipment and problems you envisage.
Speaker 2 (81)
Well, we'd really like help with making plastic instead of wooden pieces.
Speaker 3 (82)
Well, put something like need help to make plastic pieces.
Speaker 2 (84)
And the other thing is we'd like to develop a a range of sizes.
Speaker 3 (85)
Well, that's fine then.
Speaker 3 (86)
Just put that.
Speaker 3 (87)
And the last bit is when will you send the equipment?
Speaker 2 (88)
Well, we've got a lot of work on at the moment, and we wanna get it as good as we can.
Speaker 3 (89)
Well, say June 25?
Speaker 2 (90)
Can't we make it later?
Speaker 3 (91)
Well, the last date is the July 1.
Speaker 3 (92)
Why not say that?
Speaker 2 (94)
That's what I'll put.
Speaker 3 (95)
So that's the lot.
Speaker 2 (96)
That's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (97)
Thanks very much, missus Collins.
Speaker 2 (98)
I'll send it off straight away.
Speaker 3 (99)
Glad to be of help.
Speaker 3 (100)
Very best of luck to you both.
Speaker 1 (104)
That is the end of section three.
Speaker 1 (105)
You will now have half a minute to check your answers.
Speaker 1 (106)
Now turn to section four.
